Marvel didn’t want the Clint farm storyline, but Whedon insisted they leave it in the movie. In exchange, he cut much of Thor’s vision subplot, which made very little sense as a result.
Whedon really wanted a BruceNat relationship after writing the Hut scene in the Avengers. You know, the scene where she’s terrified of Bruce.
Whedon fought against a Clint/Natasha relationship, even thought it was planned, for no fucking reason.
Whedon wrote a scene where Natasha is rejected by Banner after offering to run away with him, and originally planned the bedroom moment to be a scene where her flirting turns him into the Hulk?
And then he laments the fact he didn’t have enough time so the plot seemed rushed. Even though he spent like 30+ minutes at the farm, and building up BruceNat, and everything the executives wanted to cut for the movie to run smoothly and make sense.
I just… what the fuck, Whedon??? The film could have had a completely different vibe.
Because to Whedon characters like Black Widow must be tethered to a man as close to himself as possible and it’s only gotten worse and more predictable as his career goes on.
It’s one of the reasons it drives me crazy that we’re so hard on women writers that use ‘Mary Sues’. Half of Whedon’s body of work is his masturbatory fantasy that a small yet physically strong woman who is smart and good wants nothing more than to hang out with him and give him her full attention.
my favourite thing to do with my internet friends is pretend i don’t know what shit like “juice” is because it’s “just not a thing here”. so like, i love that kind of joke as much as the next girl, but what the fuck is a pep rally
guys this wasn’t a girl who cried wolf bit of humour i legit haven’t the foggiest clue as to what a pep rally is
its where everyone in the entire school goes into the gym and sits on the bleachers arranged by what grade youre in, and the band plays and the cheerleaders do a routine and then someone yells through a megaphone for ten minutes straight about how Our School Is The Best School And We Are Great
and then they pick the most Popular kids from each grade and do a Battle Of The Classes and basically see who can scream the loudest while the popular kids play tug of war or eat donuts off a string or something
is american education just a cult that tens of millions of people are in on
Yes
What the actual fuck is this
It’s a thing. Like we all do it and at my school everyone is super competitive.
Dude that sounds like you’re part of a fuCKING CULT FOR GOD’S SAKE
